Officials poor today

Disallowed an onside goal for West Ham.

Carroll should have been sent off and could have been 3 times.

Lots of fouls not given.

But overall I think they made mistakes against both teams which looked more like poor mistakes rather than bias against either side. I think both sets of fans will be unhappy with them and feel hard done by and both sides have decent calls at decisions against them. As an Arsenal fan I feel hard done by, but expect West Ham do too.

The officials wrongly disallowed two goals for West Ham. I can understand linesmen making mistakes for offside decisions but for the second disallowed goal, the referee didn't blow his whistle until the ball was in the net. If there was a foul then why not give it straight away and not seconds after the foul. I don't think Carrol tackle was worth more than a yellow. Carroll was retaliating for Koscielny elbow which should have been at least a yellow. Gabriel was lucky not to see red. The referee again helped Arsenal for a non foul second before. Also, Arsenal first goal was offside but it was a difficult decision for the linesman to make. Poor officials which helped Arsenal more.

That was a very clear and obvious foul. You are making yourself look very stupid here.

Ozils goal wasn't offside, replays proved that a correct decision.

The foul on Gabriel was obvious.

Also you say Koscielny should have been booked for his challenge on Carroll, yet don't mention Carroll doing worse on Gabriel and not getting booked (and sent off)

You are all like Arsene. You only see what is right for you.

Because I can see a clear and obvious foul?
Because I can see TV replays proving Ozil was onside??

It was wrong, that is why I didn't correct the claim.

If the ref sends carrol off after 5 mins the lanzini goal doesn't happen though as he's the one who knocked the ball down.

What about sending koscielny off even before that then? Then the Carroll tackle doesn't happen you clown.
